A Letter to Our Clients and Friends
Dear Friends,
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Thirteen years ago, I opened the doors to my law office with one simple goal: to serve the people who had given so much to me. I never imagined where that journey would lead. Over the years, I have had the privilege of standing beside people during some of the happiest moments of their lives and some of the hardest. I have celebrated victories, shared heartbreak, fought for families, and built friendships that I will always treasure. Whether you trusted me with a legal matter, referred a friend or family member, or simply encouraged me along the way, you became part of a journey that changed my life.
Because of your trust and support, I have been blessed with a career that has meant far more than simply practicing law. It has been about helping people, building lifelong relationships, and trying every day to make a positive difference in the lives of others. For that, I will always be grateful.
I am deeply honored and humbled to have been appointed by Governor Josh Stein to serve as District Court Judge for North Carolina’s Second Judicial District, serving Beaufort, Hyde, Martin, Tyrrell, and Washington Counties. It is one of the greatest honors of my life, and I promise never to take that responsibility or the trust that comes with it for granted.
Because judges are prohibited from practicing law, my office is no longer accepting new clients. While this chapter of my life has come to an end, my commitment to serving the people of Eastern North Carolina has not. I have simply been given a different way to serve.
While I have been appointed to serve on the bench, I also recognize that the people of Beaufort, Hyde, Martin, Tyrrell, and Washington Counties will decide in November who will continue serving in this role. Between now and then, my promise is simple. I will work hard every day, serve with integrity, and do everything I can to earn the trust and confidence of the people I have the privilege to serve. If you would like to learn more about my service or my campaign to continue serving as District Court Judge, I invite you to visit Phelps4Judge.com.
As I close this chapter, I find myself thinking about the thousands of people who have walked through the doors of my office over the last thirteen years. Every client had a story. Every case mattered because every case involved someone’s life, someone’s family, or someone’s future. The trust you placed in me is something I have never taken lightly, and it is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
No matter what the future holds, I will always be thankful that you allowed me to be your attorney. You did far more than help me build a law practice. You helped shape the person I am today. I will carry the lessons you taught me, the trust you placed in me, and the friendships we built into every courtroom I enter.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in me, encouraging me, and allowing me the privilege of serving you. I will be forever grateful, and I hope I have made you proud.
With heartfelt gratitude,
